Breakfast With Santa

This weekend the kids and I rolled into Tacoma Mall bright and early for a very special event — BREAKFAST WITH SANTA! I didn’t tell them until the night before when we were settling into bed and you would have thought I told Max we were going to the moon! He was so excited to “weally […]

7 Things I Loved About MommyCon

When Bianca of The Pierogie Mama and I were invited to attend MommyCon Seattle as part of their media team we didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves into. We had heard of MommyCon, but that was the extent of our MC knowledge. So … we arrived with anticipation, wrap lust, and plans for a […]

Style File /// Mama + Jem Disney Outfits

Did you all survive the Disneyland photo onslaught? That was only phase one, I suppose, because today I’ve got our Disneyland style and next week, a round up of all the tips I learned from traveling to The Happiest Place On Earth.

[…]

My parents, grandma, almost 5 year old sister and newly turned 2 year old sister were all coming along in our ancient Suburban. We dubbed that beast the “Zoo-burban” because […]

We’re Going to DISNEYLAND!

That ^^^ is no joke how our Disneyland trip begins.  A few weeks ago, shortly after I found out I was expecting I was passed out for a nap with Max and had the most vivid, magical dream. That’s the best thing about nap dreams, I always remember them and tend to wake up inspired […]

Yellowstone or Bust!

Every month, May until baby arrives in December has something big happening – graduations, birthdays, my 10 year high school reunion, Dom and I’s anniversary, holidays, trips … busy, busy, busy. The wonderful kind of busy. I have a feeling this pregnancy is going to FLY by; good thing I’m not anticipating us needing much preparation […]
